Purchased in 2016 for $940,000, Cynthia Bailey’s gorgeous lakeside cottage was built in 1972 and boasts 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms as well as 4,262 square feet of living space.
The combination of glass, wood, and stone in the home’s interior blend perfectly together, making a surprisingly modern space for what you’d expect to be a dated cottage from the outside.
One thing you’ll notice about this home before anything is just how spacious it all feels – the open floorplan really makes the home feel like it’s double its actual size. This fully finished basement features a brick fireplace as well as access to a patio and waterfall by way of glass double doors.
The never-ending walls of glass also create some of the most beautiful panoramic forest and lake views you could ask for. Seriously, if you love being one with nature, this place is for you!
A large chef’s kitchen on the main floor offers plenty of storage via the hanging and standing rich wood cabinets. In addition to featuring all top-of-the-line Viking appliances, the kitchen also has this lovely waterfall peninsula that acts as a breakfast bar and seats up to 4.
The property is only 25 minutes from Atlanta, surprisingly close for a home in the woods, and is within walking distance of Chattahoochee National Forest. All-in-all, this is one incredible piece of Georgia real estate!
